This truly is facing East, or as near as you can get with Manhattan’s street grid. For as long as I can remember this star (some call it a snowflake) has hovered over the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street every December, and though quite simple, it has always been one of my favorite public Christmas decorations. There is a good chance this will be next year’s Christmas Card image.

21 Dec 2011So, what does it look like when you’re facing west? Your framing is nice here Mark.

21 Dec 2011Well, of course, it looks pretty much the same facing west, with just a different set of building creating the urban canyon. I also had options to shoot it from north or south on Fifth Avenue as well. I’m probably going to post a few more images of it coming up from different points of view.
